We have so many blessed memories with Phil and Marlene it is difficult to only share one. Some of our most precious memories were the time we spent traveling with them through Ireland and Northern Ireland. It was a joy to share this special adventure with this special couple. Phil did the driving since he had experience driving on the left side of the road. Steve was his trusty navigator. Marlene and Cheryl spent the time in the backseat praying for safety and laughing as the boys tried to escape at the right time from the round-abouts. Many times, we would do one or two circles before they decided what road we needed. Phil and Marlene were wonderful examples of a loving marriage and Christian marriage. Our lives are rich for our time spent with them .
